v2.0.0

Introducing RF24Network & RF24Mesh v2.0 with some significant API changes, adding the use of C++ Templates in order to support a
range of ESB enabled radios, most recently NRF52x radios.

Important Notes:

• Any network layer that uses v2 needs to have RF24Network/RF24Mesh dependencies of v2 or newer. RF24 v1.x is an exception here.
• General usage should remain backward compatible, see the included examples of the related libraries for more info
• Any third party libs that extend the network/mesh layer may also need to be updated to incorporate the new templated class prototypes:

template<class radio_t>
class ESBNetwork;
  
template<class network_t, class radio_t>
class ESBMesh;

• Third party libs should also be able to use the backward-compatible typedef in their template:
  • ESBGateway.h:

  template<typename network_t, typename mesh_t>
  class ESBGateway

  and inform the compiler what types they intend to support:
  • ESBGateway.cpp:

  template class ESBGateway<RF24Network, RF24Mesh>;

• The auto installers do not perform a version check like package managers, so having the correct versions of the software is important.
• We will be maintaining the v1.x versions with bugfixes etc for those who cannot or do not wish to migrate to the newer template approach.

Full Changelog: v1.1.9...v2.0.0

v1.1.10

This release simply caps the dependent RF24Network version to v1.x.

Full Changelog: v1.1.9...v1.1.10

v1.1.9

What's Changed

• Update examples for min PA by @TMRh20 in #216
• Doc updates and reusable CI by @2bndy5 in #217

Full Changelog: v1.1.8...v1.1.9

Bug Fix for v1.1.7

Fix mesh.begin() by @TMRh20 in #214

This was related to the uniformed data output by renewAddress() in the event of a timeout (see #211).

PIGPIO support

What's Changed

• PIGPIO support for IRQ feature (now that wiringPi is no longer shipped with RPi OS)
• improve examples' use of mesh.begin() and renewAddress() by @2bndy5 in #205
• Add topology to ncurses example by @TMRh20 in #207
• various improvments to docs by @2bndy5 in #209
• update python examples per testing by @2bndy5 in #212
• Clang format by @2bndy5 in #213

Full Changelog: v1.1.6...v1.1.7

v1.1.6

• CMake support
• RPi Pico SDK support
• Updates to callback functionality
• Update examples
• Update python wrapper
• Doc updates
  • new Sphinx generated docs (hosted at https://rf24mesh.rtfd.io)
• Many changes, see commit history

Warning for installing from the packaged release assets (.deb or .rpm files below)

If you have previously installed the library from source code using the traditional make; sudo make install, then you will need to uninstall it manually to avoid runtime conflicts.

sudo rm /usr/local/lib/librf24mesh.*
sudo rm -r /usr/local/include/RF24Mesh

This is because the Linux package manager puts the newly installed library into a /usr/lib and /usr/include folders. Installing from source will put the library in /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include folders.

doc and code formatting update

• abstract docs (main page and all "Related Pages" now live in the docs folder)
• fix formatting
• some macros in RF24Mesh_config.h can be overridden from compiler CLI (using -Dmacro_name=x) or from project source code (before #include "RF24Mesh.h"). These macros include:
  • MESH_MAX_CHILDREN
  • MESH_DEFAULT_CHANNEL
  • MESH_RENEWAL_TIMEOUT
  • MESH_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE
  • MESH_LOOKUP_TIMEOUT
  • MESH_WRITE_TIMEOUT
  • MESH_DEFAULT_ADDRESS

v1.1.4

Update library.json

v1.1.3

• More bug fixes, mostly affecting functionality

v1.1.2

• Hopefully the last of many bug fixes in a review of the entire RF24 code base, should help to increase stability and reliability.
• A number of significant bug fixes
• Address renewal and checkConnection improvements
• General cleanup, remove unneeded code, delays, remove BCM2835 constants
